The Keren Elijah Podcast
The Keren Elijah Podcast is about the real-life stories behind business and money. We talk small business, yes, but also love, loss, faith, and family. We explore the messy in-between that shapes how we live, how we spend, and how we build.
This isn’t a “perfect strategy” podcast. It’s a space for real stories, honest lessons, and clarity from life and business, so you feel seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not building alone.

What 11 Years Away From Home Taught Me — The Real Story
What happens when you leave home at 18… and don’t come back for 11 years?
In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the real story behind my time away — the cold winters, the grocery shock, the friendships and loneliness, the work rejections, the spiritual covering that held me together, and the survival mode that nearly stole my softness.
This isn’t just about moving to Canada.
It’s about becoming.
It’s about what survival taught me — and what I had to unlearn.
It’s about navigating life as a Black, immigrant, first-born daughter, far from everything familiar.
If you’ve ever felt far from home, far from yourself, or stuck in survival, this one is for you.
✨ Real-life stories
💔 Loss, laughter, hustle, healing
📖 The Bible verses my mother marked before I left
💸 Money struggles, immigration realities, and how I finally found LimFi ( link below)
🔥 What I now know about rest, resilience, and the quiet power of returning to yourself
This is the episode I wish someone had recorded for me 11 years ago.
